The report from a public inquiry into London's deadly Grenfell Tower fire has blamed the disaster on failings by government, the construction industry and firms involved in fitting flammable cladding to the building's exterior.In the years since the inferno, survivors and relatives of those killed have demanded those responsible face criminal charges, which are expected to be laid next year.
"The fire at Grenfell Tower was the culmination of decades of failure by central government and other bodies in positions of responsibility in the construction industry," said the inquiry report, which ran to almost 1,700 pages.In the years since the inferno, survivors and relatives of those who perished have demanded those responsible face justice and criminal charges.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer's spokesperson said on Tuesday the government was determined that those responsible would be held to account.Flames then spread uncontrollably, mainly because the tower had been covered during a 2016 refurbishment with cladding — exterior panels designed to improve appearance and add insulation — made of flammable aluminium composite material that acted as a source of fuel.
The most overt blame was laid at the feet of those involved in the refurbishment of the tower with the flammable cladding. They had shown indifference to fire safety regulations in the years before the blaze and the TMO, whose difficult relationship with some residents was said to have created a "toxic atmosphere", had been unduly focused on cutting costs.
